Closed Evansville Casino Riverboat Heading For New Orleans

Posted October 31, 2017

Casinos like this one in Evansville might be exempt from a state wide smoking ban.

The former Tropicana Evansville boat was moved Monday to a nearby marine services dock so its smoke stakes could be removed for the journey south. The riverboat opened in 1995 and closed a couple weeks ago as Tropicana opened a new $50 million on-shore casino.
